The First Post

My name is Martine (Tina). I am 25 years old and I have two beautiful daughters.  I have recently obtained my real estate license. The process of getting the license was a bit tough. I chose to do the at home study rather than going to the class with an instructor to teach it. Being home with two kids vying for my attention made it that much harder to get through the book. But I actually did it which is a huge feat for me. When it came time to take the final I was sorely disappointed the first time. But I go over that hump and studied for a couple more weeks then took it again and passed!!! After that it was time to take the actual licensing test. I scheduled the state test. The state test was two portions, a national portion and state portion. I passed the national portion the first time and failed the state portion the first time. Most who take the test do not pass the first time and have to take it a second and third time. Knowing that did not make it easier on me. I walked out of the building in tears because for 3 months I studied my butt off and failed. But I came 6 days later and retook the state portion and passed which a huge burden off my shoulder. 


Now I am working with Keller Williams Realty here in Fredericksburg, VA. The struggle now is getting my name out there so I can start selling and listing houses. This blog is going to about my struggles and success as a real estate agent. Being an agent is not easy work. It is not a 9 to 5 job. 


This is it for now
xoxo Tina
